Career planning: candidates will have the opportunity to have in-depth discussions with their coach, who has a wide range of experience and contacts in various sectors in the UK. A set of company sector lists specially selected for the candidate will be sent to the candidate after the Career planning session to help them understand their chosen industries. Candidates will be expected to start carrying out research and then start applying for positions agreed on the schedule.

Personal development plan: to be created by personal coach and candidates. The Plan aims to assist the coach to effectively plan how to help the candidate with basic application skills over the course of the 15 personal coaching hours included in this package.

Vacancy research: the personal coach will show candidates how to find opportunities through networking and how to carry out self-referrals using on-the-ground social and business activities and career fairs, university career seminars, open days, insight days organised by companies, voluntary work and through social media such as LinkedIn.

Planning for the interview process: practise verbal, numerical and situation judgement tests, telephone interviews, video interviews, face-to-face interviews and assessment centres, including how to dress and improve appearance.

Motivation questions: the personal coach must be sure that the candidate has a genuinely strong motivation before he or she makes an application to a particular job.

Key competencies questions: leadership, teamwork, communication skills, creativity, overcoming difficulties, innovation, problem solving, analytical and others.

Commercial awareness-related questions: the personal coach must facilitate the candidate’s understanding in this area by finding a few topics that interest the candidate. By reading financial news (e.g. The Economist) and practising with the coach, the candidate can get used to discussing commercial awareness issues with a professional.

General questions: the personal coach must prepare candidates to be able to talk effectively about personal interests, passions, hobbies and other types of questions during the entire application process.

Business and social awareness: how to behave in an appropriate international business manner, includes: dress, food, manners, eating and drinking, fitting in, joining in events, how to say ‘no’, and mobile phone courtesy.

Improving written and spoken English: the coach can assign some time for this exercise but the coach should also be aware of English improvement programmes since it is hard to make a significant difference in just a few hours.
